Hello. I am using this: $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID LIKE '%$_GET[id]%' AND title LIKE '%$_GET[word]%'"; But I want exactlu ID, not one part of many possibles Ids in the DB. How can I do that?
PLEASE tell me your cleaning that input... http://php.net/mysql_real_escape_string And to answer your question: <?php $id = mysql_real_escape_string ($_GET['id']); $word = mysql_real_escape_string ($_GET['word']); $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE ID = '$id' AND title = '$word'"; ?> Read more on MySQL's "LIKE" functionality. Google can help you. HTH, ~Philip
